Fortnite v7.01 Patch is Live

Well hasn’t this first few days of Season 7 been a blast? Planes, Snow, Ziplines, Christmas themed Cosmetics, and of course Creative Mode have all put Fortnite into another realm.

Forget about all the visual changes that have made the game look and feel completely different to Season 6, Epic seems to have gone into overdrive churning out more game-changing additions than ever before. For the first time, the struggle is real when it comes to deciding what you want to do when jumping onto Fortnite. Do you play some quick scrims?How about checking out the current LTM?Will you try and tick off some challenges for the week?Or do you get to work in Creative Mode?

There are so many options that is honestly is hard to decide, especially if you didn’t have a preconceived plan.

I’m not complaining, and by the looks of the Discords, Forums, and Reddit subs no one else is either. However, if the rate at which we are seeing these huge patches continues, it may begin to feel like we have lost touch with the true essence of Battle Royale.

Perhaps splitting LTM’s into their own channel (exactly as we have seen with the new Creative Mode) and leaving the classic Solo, Duos, Squads in a channel of group of their own. Just a side thought. Anyway, knock back that Slurp and wrangle those Llama because we should really get into this weeks patch notes as provided by Epic
